The Kansas City Chiefs will hit the road again this weekend when they visit the Tennessee Titans in Week 7 of the 2021 NFL regular season. Patrick Mahomes knows his team had a slow start, but he's convinced they can head into the right direction.

The Chiefs quarterback wants to build from the sixth week win against the Washington Football Team to prove that the previous Monday Night Football loss to the Buffalo Bills was a turning point for his side.

With a 3-3 record, Kansas can't afford to lose more games if they want to make the playoffs comfortably. However, that didn't prevent Mahomes from taking a moment to praise their upcoming opponents' best player, Derrick Henry.

Patrick Mahomes showers Derrick Henry with praise

The Titans are enjoying a great start to the season as they are leading the AFC South with a 4-2 record. Unsurprisingly, Derrick Henry has been taking all the limelight again.

Ahead of this weekend's game, Mahomes was full of praise for the unstoppable RB:I think he presents a challenge for everybody,” he said. “I mean, he’s one of the best running backs, to me, of all time. The way he’s able to run the football to get 20, 30 whatever 40 carries it is, and he comes back to next week, and he seems like he’s just as fresh as the week before.

"He’s a special talent who works his tail off to be who he is. So we understand this would be a great challenge for any defense to stop him. But we’re going to try to do best we can at limit him as much as possible.”

Henry already has 10 rushing touchdowns this season and is the league leader in rushing yards with 783 in 2021. So, good luck with that, Pat. The Chiefs defense will have work to do on Sunday.
